A member asked:
Can you spread genital herpes using a razor but no sexual contact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Razor and herpes: You could theoretically pass herpes through the use of a razor since the herpes virus lives in the nerve endings in the skin and a razor might open wounds in the skin to allow infection. Probably unwise to share a blade no matter the case regardless of shaving of the face or genitals.
